Case 1
Male patient in his 30’s presents with acute breathlessness for 10 days suggestive of an acute PE. He remains tachycardic but other observations are normal.
- Why is he still tachycardic 10 days on?
- Is something else modifying his risk?
Eugene Tabiowo – 02/2015
Case 2
Male patient in his 20’s presents with acute chest pain. Initially anticoagulated for ?PE elsewhere and returned for SDEC review after having a CTPA 3 days later. CTPA was negative for PE and reported to be unremarkable. Review of history indicated pain was sharp with an early-diastolic murmur present.
- Key history and assessment raises the suspicion and PoCUS question!

Case 1
Middle aged man brought into Resus with sever breathlessness. ITU in attendance due to hypoxia and hypotension. Was difficult to ventilate and too unstable to move for imaging. ITU raised the below questions for PoCUS help.
- Does he have a tension pneumothorax, before we intubate?
- Is there a cardiogenic cause for this?
Eugene Tabiowo – 07/2023
